You can patch on non vista machine and then copy the files into the moo folder on your machine.

You don't need any shortcut to play the game.
1. patch with >1.31>1.40
2. copy the whole folder into your vista machine.
3.edit dosbox.conf file ( i presume you have installed DosBox) according to
DosBox guide

I did all that and started a game but when it loaded it still said v1.31. Ive tried running orion2v140 with dos box but it says its an illegal command. only accepts orion2 as command. where am i going wrong?
P.S. Thanks for the help

See the note in chapter 1B.
The proper name of 1,40 file is orion2~1
